CHINA TRAVELS AND INVESTIGATIONS IN
THE MIDDLE KINGDOM" By James Har-
rison Wilson. New York; ID. Appleton &
Co. Besides discussion of China there is
also a" Glance at Japan" The author spent
considerable time in these countries, par
ticularly in the former, studying its peculiar
form of civilization and its possibilities, and
he took every means to carefully inform
himself in these directions. His object was
to ascertain what We're the prospects for the
using of American skill, enterprise and capt.
tai in that country. The book, which en-
bodies the results of his Investigations be-
sides history of his travels, is very inter-
esting one.
A HANDSOME portrait of Charles Sumner,
by II. Velten, forms the frontispiece of the
August Cosmopolitan. 1t accompanies in
teresting and valuable "reminiscences of the
great statesman, by Arnold Burgess Johnson,
for many years his private secretary. George
III. Fitch's profusely illustrated article on
The Millionaires of the Pacific Coast is
vivid and picturesque account of how
these men acquired their great fortunes.
Pilgrims and Shrines in Canada" by j.
Macdonald OXley, is timely description
of one of the most striking and interesting
features of Canadian life, since it is at
this season of the year that Ste. Anne de
Beaupre attracts so many visitors. Gail
Hamilton's vigorous article ON " The Do
nestle Money Question is an attempt to
solve one OF the greatest difficulties en-
countered in married life. The conclusion
of Charles G. Welman's Monte Carlo
Its Games and Gamesters " is even more in
teresting than the first article The
Resurrection of Siddhardta," by Aug. Glar-
don, is powerful Hindoo story, while Mrs
X. b. Foot's story of The Hard Money u
is a thrilling tale of life in the South during
the war " A Door Must be Either Open OF
Shut" by Berr de Turique, is very amusing
domestic comedy The Young Folks de-
department is filled with interesting stories
and sketches for the younger members OF
' the family.

DRUNKENNESS, OR THE LIQUOR HABIT,
POSITIVELY CURED BY ADMINISTERING DR..
HAINEs' GOLDEN SPECIFIC.-It can be given
in a cup of coffee or tea, without the knowl-
edge of the person taking it; is absolutely
harmless and will effect permanent and
speedy cure, whether the patient is mod
crate drinker or an alcoholic wreck. Thou
sands of drunkards have been made tenn
perate men who have taken Golden Specific
in their coffee without their knowledge, and
to-day believe they quit drinking of their
own free will. 1T NEVER FAILS. The
system once impregnated with the Specific,
it becomes an utter impossibiity for the
liquor appetite to exist. For full particulars

THERE is no longer ans doubt
that the laboring men in Boston,
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Cincinnati, Chicago and other
Eastern, Northern and Western
cities are organizing to enter the
arena Of politics this year. 1t is too
early to discuss the probable effect
of this organization, but the fact
that it is now in active consolidation
is attracting the attention Of leaders
of parties, for there is no telling
who will be the organ or leader of
this new force.

TALBOT county, down on the
Eastern Shore, has nows six news
papers, and We learn that there is d
prospect of two more starting soon
-one at Cordova and one at Oxford.
The newspaper business isN being
overdone all over the country, aud
is seriously undermining its useful
ness. Competition is becoming SO
strong that remuneratiye prices
cannot be secured, and expenses
must be cut down even in the Oldest
and most prosperous establishments,
and there suit is, that dead matter, .
takes the place of much interesting
and instructive reading, and the
subscriber is robbed of his just
dues. Here, in our own city, there
is more than one obscure newspaper
without circulation or character
soliciting advertising and job print
ing at prices that viii not pay the ex-
pensc of setting up the types in a
well regulated Office, and the result
is that somebody is cheated. Sub
scribers and advertisers should give
these cheap Johns" . vide berth,
and patronize those papers that bear
upon their face evidences Of pros
perity.

The farmers were in convention
yesterday and concluded their labors
in the afternoon. The question of
taxation was discussed in all its
bearings, but no conclusions were
reached. The proposition to tax
mortgages did not meet with that
support the subject seemed to re-
quire. The tenant system was also
discussed. Mr.. Henry II. Murray
of this county, was chosen a vice
president of the next annual con-
yention. Mr.. Samuel Brooke, of
this county, asked for committee
to consider and devise some system
of opening county roads, which was
granted.
